CONFERENCE PROGRAM


In each session, the video-recordings of the papers will be presented in sequence. As the attendees watch the video presentations, they can write questions in a text area for the authors of the corresponding paper. At the end of all presentations, approximately 15 minutes will be devoted to Q&A.; At least one author of each accepted paper should be present at the corresponding session for the Q&A.; Next to each session is the name of the session chair (SC). All times shown in the conference schedule are in ET (Boston/New York) timezone.
